Applying for jobs

Discussing your resume and work experience with someone else could help you remember important details that you may have overlooked or not considered important. Having another person review your application can help you catch mistakes, highlight key points and increase your confidence.

The Careers Officer collaborates with our Heads of School, discipline coordinators and the Pathways Success Now! workshop program to provide guidance on all stages of the job application process.
